A Letter to Men
|
Men, Life is chaotic! Does that sound too dramatic? Just look around you. We enter each day with the reality that the only way to live in this adventure called life, with all its unpredictability and immensely high stakes, is in an ongoing intimate relationship with God. However, we have this haunting question, “How do I do this as a man?” Why do so many men seem bored and feel so out of place; concluding that their lives have little or no impact. Perhaps we need to learn to live from the heart and not from a system or list that has left many of us tired and confused as well as making us busier than we already are. Can we live from the heart without fear? In God’s own words He tells us that we have a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26) and that because we are new creatures in Christ, we earnestly desire to please God by fulfilling the destiny he designed for us (II Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 3: 10-17). Have you given much thought to what it is to be an image bearer of God, without being driven by fear or guilt? Who a man is in Christ is a lot more than a generic or theological idea. Our greatest and deepest desires in life are for God and they are more than fitting into the program or just being nice and safe. Were those your boyhood dreams, to just fit in, or was it to be heroic and to make a difference? Most of you have busy lives and you have trouble thinking about squeezing in one more thing. However, I want you to seriously think about getting away from your busy life to spend some time reflecting on these issues. It will not be a time in which you will come away with a list of things to do. On the contrary, you may be surprised and encouraged about who you are and God’s heart for you. We are inviting you to our “Epic Adventure” weekend. It is a four day quest into the recovery of your masculine heart. The adventure begins on a Thursday afternoon and ends Sunday at noon. We felt it was essential to select a place where you see the beauty of God’s creation all around you as He transforms you inside. We have chosen East Texas and Colorado. Take your pick. Click here for more detail on our Epic Adventure Weekend format. Prayerfully consider coming. It could make a real difference in your life. You can e-mail me at JamesF@EpicAdv.org. I hope to see you in Colorado.
Strength & Honor, James Fincher
